Vlad Gerasimov5 April 2008
Long ago, when I was young kid, I made a wallpaper called They Stole The Moon. I am still the kid :-) but not as young, and I wanted to re-make it with my (hopefully) improved Photoshop skills. To my surprise, it turned out to be completely different wallpaper, but maybe that's better!

InternetG33k5 April 2008Completely different means I love both versions for completely different reasons! Gorgeous job, as always!

Arthur Pustynin5 April 2008Brilliant! Потрясающе!

Lili5 April 2008Wow...Really cool !!!
Thanks for your work ;-)

Kevin Olson5 April 2008A Clock of this wallpaper would be awesome.

Adri5 April 2008Where did the giraffe go?

Richard Brown5 April 2008replying to buddy..... you are a idiot!!!! Vlad amazing again. Your desktops are wonderful best thing i have ever bought online was a lifetime subscription for your site.

Sebastian5 April 2008This one is really nice! But i like you previous "they stole the moon" better. The other one feels more mystical in some way :) How old are you by the way?

Omid5 April 2008I love the old version and the new version
they are beautiful

Justin Murray5 April 2008awesome work vlad! id love to see the original concept..

Alucard.G5 April 2008haha,Stole The Moon
cool...
"Buddy, you should have your eyes checked!"
right!

Mark5 April 2008Very nice!

stefo5 April 2008Um... the original may have been a crappy photoshop work, but it had heart. The trippy looking giraffe and aborigines were crucial to it, and now you replace them with your standard fisher price gnomey things?
Disappointing, man.

Suzanne Skinner6 April 2008Agree with stefo.

JENNIFER6 April 2008muy lindo! me encanto

Drax6 April 2008This one is better than the early one. I love the colours and the robbers are cute.

Ola7 April 2008It is osweomne. I LOVE it.

Tatjana7 April 2008Amazing !

kelli7 April 2008this is amazing. soo cute and it reminds me of a book i read when i was little. beautiful art.

Bakaliaros8 April 2008I like it very much...

Veronika8 April 2008Very nice one!
There's actually a book "Stolen Moon" by a Czech writer Ludvík Aškenazy. It's a not-ony-for-children fairy tale - I think that would suit you, wouldn't it, Vlad :)
I wish you and your family all the best!

Mufaddal9 April 2008Yessssssss!!! Blluuuuuue!!! After so long Vlad - and you knock our socks off again..... brilliant!!!!
This one looks way crisper than all the older ones? a kind of clarity not seen before - maybe thats just me or is the cintiq working its magic?
I hope you're not abandoning the Two?

NeO9 April 2008that's awesome dude!!

Kevin (Latin America)12 April 2008Simplemente Mágico, pienso que si llegara hasta la luna no quisiera regresar quisiera quedarme ahi viendo la tierra.
Me recuerda la canción de savage garden - To The Moon & Back
--- Google translation ---
Simply Magical, I think that if you go to the moon would not want to go back I would stay there watching the earth.
It reminds me song ( savage garden - To The Moon & Back )
Thanks for thinking of Spanish speakers

Predrag Pecenica17 April 2008my friend has original as wallpaper since the begining ...
and I like the original ... and when I saw it, in a 5 sec it became my wallpaper, as on work laptop, as on home PC ... so do not have to say what is my opinion about it [masterpiece]
Vlad, Vlad, Vlad ... один цвет

Michal Stružský5 April 2008:-D :-D :-D one of the funniest wallpapers ever 8-) great work :-)

Rob Schultz5 April 2008I love it. Do you have the original for comparison? I think we'd all love to see the evolution of "They Stole The Moon".

A1Elements5 April 2008I love The Two series of ur wallpapers, this one is beautiful.

Buddy5 April 2008I don't think this is very good, your other stuff isn't great either. You're an average artist, you should try real art instead of noodle-ing around on the computer.

Martin Stružský5 April 2008Poor one Buddy, if you don't like this site, simply do not visit it (as no one forces you) and let others to enjoy Vlad's amazing work ;-)

AMPIT5 April 2008Yes you are impruving, no doubt, but the older one was also nice. We loved it and now this one is wonderful. Keep trying, some years more it will be just perfect, but perhaps not so very nice as now.

Melody Liu5 April 2008one word. BRILLIANT! I LOVE IT!!!

Claudia Lopez5 April 2008Impressive AS ALWAYS, I totally agree with Richard Brown, my subscription to your website is the best money I have ever spent online EVER! Buddy, you should have your eyes checked!
Wonderful work Vlad!!! Keep marveling us as you usually do!

mashim5 April 2008very good

Marco ten Hoff5 April 2008Verry very nice Vlad! I love it!

Avi5 April 2008awsome work and great imagination.

Vladimir Mastilovic5 April 2008if it could be done in green, would be even more awesome...er :D

Pawell6 April 2008I like this work in general, but bugglers should be dann in "Two" style like your previos works, I guess. But it is very nice too.

Cristina7 April 2008the first one was ... no ... it is still one of my favourites wallpapers!! simply perfect!!
This one is cute .. but looks like something's missing in it and I'm not talking about technique but about feelings in it.

Rita7 April 2008Nice, but still the first one is my favourite!!! It's always on my desktop :)

В.В. Путин7 April 2008Круто! Спасибо.

Mohammed korashy8 April 2008This is my ultimate favourite now . .

Leti9 April 2008:) I love the color

peter9 April 2008so cool :-)

Vilynk9 April 2008i like the thin curly lines in the back. this one's great just like the other one

Marysia9 April 2008Just like the Polish president and his twin brother. Very interesting :)
(they really played those two, who stole the moon, they're dwarfs... hmmm, I just don't know who might be this third one :D )
Apart from those political connotations for polish viewers it is georgeous indeed :)

fullah from Saudi14 April 2008brilliant artistry. Thanks to the artist. We need people with vision.

Yasmin20 February 2010This one is my favorite on the site.
Hey, I was wondering if I could use parts of this picture to make a banner for my blog? I'm completely remaking it with a new name, and I want to call it 'They Stole the Moon'. Obviously I'd give you credit and post the link to this picture on the sidebar.

linda andrade19 April 2010congratulations, it's amazing !!!

Nazish2 August 2010Its beautiful. I recently discovered your site and way too impressed ! I'm a photographer and have some skills at photoshop for photoediting only. Can you kindly tell me how do you make such awesome drawings on Photoshop?

GRAF23 December 2010Круто :)

MD MONIRUZZAMAN20 February 2012Just purchased premium account for life time for this wallpaper!!!
